Niché en plein coeur de l'effervescent quartier du Mile-End, le Café Olimpico est très certainement l'un des secrets les mieux gardés de Montréal. Comme Montréal est une ville multiculturelle incroyable, ce café aux saveurs européennes y trouve grandement sa place. Fondé en 1970 par M. Rocco Furfaro, ce café dégageant une énergie et un charme incomparable a très certainement traversé les épreuves du temps et a su rassembler une grande variété de gens qui partage le même amour pour le bon café. En passant par l'homme d'affaires qui s'arrête pour son espresso quotidien le matin ou bien par l'étudiant qui y sirote un cappuccino l'après-midi, le Café Olimpico a fait ses preuves auprès de tous pour être un établissement où l'on y rencontre de bonnes et agréables personnes.
Les avis convergent sur Café Olimpico comme une institution montréalaise offrant un café italien authentique, des desserts italiens et une ambiance conviviale et animée qui reflète le quartier, avec un espresso riche et équilibré et des pâtisseries comme tiramisu, cannoli et bomboloni souvent cités comme des incontournables. Le service est globalement rapide et chaleureux, et l'accueil contribue à une atmosphère de communauté où l'on se sent chez soi, même lors des heures d'affluence ou devant une file d'attente. La terrasse et l'ambiance, selon les emplacements, ajoutent au charme et font de ce lieu un endroit populaire pour se retrouver entre amis ou boire un café en regardant les matchs. Certaines critiques mentionnent le manque d'espace pour s asseoir et des toilettes moins impeccables, mais l'essence reste centrée sur le café de qualité, les desserts et le sentiment d'une expérience montréalaise authentique et accessible.
I honestly only have good things to say about this place! There was a bit of a line but it moved quickly! The service was so friendly & everyone was working together & in a good mood! Their tiramisu was one of the best I've had & their coffee crema was insane! Definitely come try this place out 🙌🏻
i used to go to other italian coffee places but this one is gonna be my favorite one for now. the service is so good, their espresso so yummy & the staff, they do a great job. its kinda packed sometimes, depending the day or the time you go there but, it's worth the visit for a single espresso or some tiramisu. the ambience is so nice, as they play old school songs. you feel like back in the 80s, some italian 80s vibes lol.
Such a hidden gem in this bustling city! Welcoming & friendly staff immediately made me feel at home sending my struggles with speaking French, without hesitation they started talking to me in English & even shared some laughs with me when I requested oak milk for my dietary requirements! It felt proper to tip them well when I was there... such a great spot, & the croissants are most excellent addition to my coffee! Thanks guys!
I am biased when it comes to Olympico cafe simply because its a special place. An Italian place with one of the best coffee's in the city, their Lemon cake & croissant pastry are a must try too! There are a lot of seatings but its known to be crowded. Ive been to all Olympico cafe in montreal & they all share the same lovely service I recommend it a lot

The coffees are delicious with high quality ingredients. The staff were helpful & provided great advice. It has a unique & lovely atmosphere that reminds me of a coffee equivalent of a 1600s Belgian cafe. It's homey & makes you feel comfortable.
The cannoli was bite size compared to the images provided on the google account. Vibes were immaculate. The queue to get coffee was long, but the service was extremely quick! The workers knew what they were doing.
I went there on a sunny Sunday afternoon with my sisters. The whole vibe is really loud & chill 😎. The waiting line was super long, it started right when we entered the room, we made a u turn & then went to the counter. Since it was 4 of us, we ordered a bunch of desserts to share. Unfortunately, the cashier got one of our orders wrong, & it was too busy & packed. Then, we were not able to get back to him to correct it. As for the cafe, the latte was pretty standard, good but not fantastic, the cappuccino with sugar was pretty though. We shared two tiramisu, it was rich & tasty overall, a bit too sweet to my taste. The fried Italian doughnut looking dessert ( forgot the name) was decadent , filled with ricotta, not too sweet, & I like it better. If you want to check them out, remember to go there on weekdays!
